The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) has recently escalated its search for Geovany Saul Carcamo, a 27-year-old Guatemalan national now finding himself among Texas' 10 Most Wanted Criminal Illegal Immigrants. According to a DPS announcement, Carcamo has been on the run since December 3, 2024, stemming from a warrant issued in Grayson County for aggravated sexual assault of a child. In a move indicative of the gravity with which they are pursuing the case, Texas Crime Stoppers is offering up to $3,000 for information that leads to his capture, with assurances of anonymity for all tipsters.
This isn't the first time Carcamo has run afoul of U.S. immigration regulations. Having been previously removed from the country in 2022 for illegal entry, authorities believe he has now managed to escape the Sherman area and potentially relocate to Houston. Standing 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing approximately 160 pounds, his profile and further information have been shared by the DPS to aid in his apprehension. These details aim to encourage the public to come forward with any viable tips on his whereabouts, in adherence with the law enforcement's pursuit to quickly bring Carcamo to justice.
Public safety and the rule of law are at the cornerstone of these efforts, emphasized by the generous funding from the Governor's Public Safety Office. Over the course of 2024, as part of the Texas 10 Most Wanted initiative, DPS in collaboration with other agencies has already overseen the successful arrest of 45 fugitives, including 16 sex offenders, 10 gang members, and four criminal illegal immigrants, distributing $32,000 in reward money for actionable tips.
Those looking to provide information can do so by calling the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-252-TIPS (8477), submitting a web tip through the DPS website by selecting the fugitive you have information about, or by submitting a Facebook tip by clicking the “SUBMIT A TIP” link. DPS reinforces the anonymity of these processes, ensuring that tipsters are referenced only by a provided tip number, avoiding having to necessarily use their real names.
DPS and local law enforcement continue to collaborate in selecting fugitives for the Texas Most Wanted programs, underscoring the danger these individuals pose. The current lists, complete with photos, can be found on the DPS website. The general public is cautioned not to attempt to apprehend these individuals due to the risk they pose, being considered armed and dangerous.
